Eventhough today is my 60th birthday, I thought that I must post a few things because suicide contemplation in the minds of humanity never takes a rest. I post these things as a warning of the devastation of lives out there that are seldom covered or discussed because of the stigma attached. I do hope that as we carry forward in hope that we will be more supportive in our communities and places of work in viewing and understanding mental health and depression.
I told my husband in the middle of the night that last year was a very difficult one. Downsizing from a huge family home with tenants to a 55 plus aged complex with a total of 1190 sq feet was a huge undertaking fought with daily challenges leading up to the big day. Today as I stand here typing in my new kitchen, I feel accomplished, yet somewhat fearful of what my hip surgery will bring about. This is my second one they will be doing likely in the spring. I also said to my husband that I am happy with my age, and would not want to be one year younger or older than what I am. I am a survivor of many things. I will miss my youngest and treasured daughter today , Deborah Gordon on my day of celebration, Usually, it is the ones we don't have with us that hurt the most was a saying I heard before.. Well it is true. Eventhough, my family will be together; Deborah's absence will be a huge hole.
My little grand-daughter with similar dimples on her cheeks as Deborah will adorn my arms as I greet the world today. Be strong my friends, and of good courage because Jesus overcame the World and He is coming back soon. We will see our loved ones again!!!!
